Goodbye, white walls. OK, so it's not for everyone, but at the extremes of the art and design world, geometric patterns are big. We've noticed more than a few recent projects that involve designers slathering the walls and floors in bright reds, purples, and blues.

O.H.W.O.W. Cappellini by Rafael de Cardenas: Currently a hot name in the design world, Rafael de Cardenas has designed several high-profile commercial projects including a meanswear storefront in South Africa, a collaboration with New York City restaurateur Cobi Levy, and O.H.W.O.W. pop-up storefronts for well-known brands. (The red interior shown above is Cappellini's O.H.W.O.W. pop-up.)

Opus Shop by Paradox Studio: A patterned, textured "chair rail" and a swath of yellow paint differentiate this space in Taipie, designed by Taiwanese firm Paradox Studio.
